everybody thought that Cromwell would
break down and confess to completely In the

slightest indications Of confession to any
one who has visited the jail. Sheriff Brown
or his deputies have not yet observed any
signs of relenting on the part OF the man.
Both Cromwell and Stain are very social and
talk freely with visitors, but they cease talk

Reversing the Vow.

A clergyman. travelling through
the village of Kettle, in Fife, was
called into an inn to officiate at a
marriage, instead of parish minis
ter, who, from some accident, was
unable to attend, and had caused the
company to wait FIR considerable
time. While the reverend gentleman
was pronouncing the admonition, and
just as he had told the bridegroom to
love and honor his wife. the said
bridegroom interjected the words,
'and obey" which he thought had
been omitted from oversight, though
that is part of the rule laid down
solely to the wife.
The minister, surprised to find a
husband willing to be hen-pecked by
anticipation, did not take advantage
of the proposed amendment, on
which the bridegroom again remin-
ded him of the omission-"Ay, and
obey, sir-love, honor and obey, we
ken ~ and he seemed very seriously
discomposed at finding that his hint
was not taken.
Some years after the same clergy
man was riding through this village
of the culinary name, when the same
man came ont and stopped him, adj
dressing him in the following re-
markable words:
"D'ye mind. sir, yon day when We
marrid me, and when l wad insist
upon vowing to obey my wife? Weel
we NAV now see that | was in the
RIGHT. Whether We was or no, / haze
obeyed my wife; and behold L am

The Richest People on Earth.

"The wealth OF the United States
is phenomenal. In 1880 it was val
ued at S43, $40, 900, 009; more than
enough to buy the Russian and
Turkish Empires the kingdoms OF
Sweden and Norway, Denmark and
Italy, together with Australia, South
Africa and all South America-lands,
mines, cities, palaces. thrones, scep-
tres. diadems and all - the entire
possessions of 176,000,000 people.
Great Britain is by far the richest
nation of the old world. and our
wealth exceeds hers by 1915, 000,O 900.
The most remarkable point of this
comparison is that European wealth
represents the accumulation of many
centuries, while the great part of ours
has been created in twenty years. In
1860 our wealth was valued at S16,-
l60,000,000. In 1880 it had increased
10 per cent. During that period a
million producers were destroyed by
war, and not only were two great
armies withdrawn from productive
occupations, but they devoted mar
yelous energy and ingenuity to the
work of destruction. Moreover, dur
ing the same period slaves, whose
value was estimated in 1860 at ST.
$50 100000. disappeared from the as
sests of the nation. But, notwith-
standing all this, our wealth during
these twenty years increased S27, 482,-
00,000-$l0, 900, 100000, more than
the entire wealth of Russia, to be di-
vided between S2,OOO,0O0.

Habits of Printers.

Printers, as rule, are not a provi-
dent class. although they receive
wages equal to those of nearly any
skilled mechanic, and larger than
many. A typesetter on a morning
paper, if he be FAST man, usually
"pastes up a string" at the end of the
week that will measure him all the
the way from S1S to S2S. The expert
morning newspaper printer seldom
works over five nights week. He
generously contributes one of his
nights to the "sub" who is posted on
the foreman's list, and who is either
unable to secure regular "cases," or
who is carrying the banner" from
town to town. The regular" who
lays off in this way, is rarely other
than a generous fellow. He is anx.
ious that his less fortunate crafts
man may have chance to earn a
few dollars, and while he is idle, i.
not infrequently found spending his
money with a lavish hand. This,
however, was more strictly the case
in days gone by, when printer was
not printer until he had circum.
naYigated the globe. or travelled al
least oyer the English speaking part
of it. The printer nowadays who
wanders from place to place is regard.
ed with more or less suspicion.
A printer whose eyes have become
dim from following the boxes, and
whose shoulders have been bent an
til his chin rests almost upon his
chest, from his lifelong toll at the

he had been setting type Dr thirty
years. "During that time,7 he said,

the days of the war | worked in
Philadelphia for awhile and earned
so much money in four nights that
my time during the succeeding three
days was fully occupied in getting
rid of it. Other printers were like

down to business. There are quite a

of Averhoch and made proclamation
that Ludwig of Kurt. cousin to the
dead lord, Everhard, the Rhenish
red beard. claimed the domain of
Ayerboch. and that the emperor
summoned the lady to appear at his
imperial court to contest the claim.
That the adventurer was neither
kitn nor kin to the old robber lord
was apparent to all but what justice
could one expect at the hands of
tyraut, eager to reward one of his
minions.
The emperor affected to hear the
case; both parties made their state
ments, the adventurer backing his
claim by twenty rogues, who swore
right stoughtly that they knew him
to be the cousin of the old red-beard.
Joqueline was in despair, for she
saw that the trial was farce, and
that the emperor intended to decide
against her regardless of the truth,
and, as the last resource, she claimed
the "ordeal by BATTLE" the right of
every noble when life or property
was at stake.

peror," cried the adYenturer. conf

produce champion, and if with a
lance l do not prove that my cause is

Within one week Joqueline must
psoduce a champion in the lists ready
to contend with Ludwig or lose her
estate. The maiden counted that
young Eberstine would fight for her,
but ere the time came. on couch of
sickness the young lord lay,
The trumpets sounded in the lists

the appointed day, when Ludwig
cast his steel-clad gauntlet down.
Neither the lady nor her champion
seemed at hand, but at the last sum-
mons slightly built knight, arrayed
In armor, with the visor down, rode
into the lists. The knight was
stranger to all. A purple plume
hoated from his helmet, but his shield
was clear of device.
"Ho, you, Purple Plumep' quoth
the emperor; slightest thou for the
lady of Ayerbock ?"
The knight bowed, the trumpets
gave the signal, and the contest be-
gan,
With leveled lances Ludwig and
the unknown knight rushed upon
each other, but Heaven was with the
right, for the horse of the adventurer
SHE'D. and Ludwig's lance, forced up
ward, struck the helmet from the
head of the Purple Plume without
harming him, but the lance of the
unknown took Ludwig full in the
throat. and hurled him lifeIess to the
ground, and then, before the emper-
or aud all the court, the Lady of
Averboch" stood revealed in the I'M
known knight. She had donned ar
NOR and fought for her fair estate.
Eyer after that day in the lists the
banner of Averboch bore as its device
a simple Purple Plume, in memory
of Joqueline's braye deed.

that is required to pipe it into Indianapolis,
and yet indianapolis has no prospect of ever
getting natural gas. Writers of anonymous
cards in newspapers have said that natural
gas could be brought into this city at ten cents
a thousand feet, and great profit made at
that price; that cooking stove could be run
a year for less than six dollars that a six
room house could be heated for thirty dollars
year; but nobody, company, has invaded
the town with any such purpose. The coal
and coke dealers advance their prices, and yet
we get no gas. Somebody is trifiing with the
best interests of the city. When the City

Gus attention to this condition of affairs. The
Chicago authorities are exceedingly anxious
to have him brought back. as he certainly
ought to be, but it is very doubtful if they
can get him. The Canadians seem disposed
to stand on the letter of the law. The
Toronto World of Saturday says:
1--WE desire to tell the American authorities
that while we DO not desire such expectations
of criminals they permit, the refugee who
comes here and can not be taken back legally
because of their refusal to amend the extradi-
ton treaty on the lines that we have laid
down, is sacred upon this soil. He may be the
worst of men, but if legality can not reach
him illegality shall not. We have tried to
have reciprocity. and we have tried to secure
extension of the extraditon treaty; in
both instances our overtures have been con-
temptuously rejected. McGarige may rest
assured that his Montreal case is a case that
must be tried upon its merits and that no
Canadian, outside of a small circle of dough
faces will consent to any extralegal action
in his case"
There is undertone OF bravado in this
but perhaps it is not far out of the way. If
want to reclaim fugitive criminals from
Canada we can only expect to do so according
to law, and to this end our government
should cooperate heartily with the British
authorities in framing such an extradition
treaty as will be satisfactory to both
countries
